URGENT: FBEU calls for firefighter members of the Shooters, Fishing, or Christian Democrats Partys, to contact FBEU #ausunions #fbeu #greens

Posted on May 30, 2011 by Darin Sullivan in Extra

URGENT RELEASE: NSW Australia

FBEU members (and the community) should be aware of the current threat to firefighters and public sector workers from the NSW Govt (http://fbeu.net/2011/05/sitrep-no-212011/).

The FBEU is asking for any FBEU members (firefighters) who may also be members of the Shooters Party, the Fishing Party, or the Christian Democrats, to contact us urgently.

We'd like to ask for your assistance in contacting the relevant political parties as the Bill goes through Parliament. We'll be asking the Fishers, Shooters, and Christrian Democrats to block the passage of Barry O'Farrell's IRC Bill.

Feel free to contact myself (dsullivan@fbeu.net), or the Union office (office@fbeu.net) for further information.

To all FBEU members of 'the Greens', please pass on our thanks to your respective branches and contacts, our gratitude for taking the correct position on this draconian Bill.

Thankyou
